Thank you, curiouswombat! I'm very glad you like how I wrote him at this particular moment in his life.

The fates of the others will be revealed eventually (which is my way of saying that I'm not sure yet what all of their fates are! I do know of one, for certain, but the other two I haven't nailed down yet). This next tale about Bowen will at least include some indication, as it's set in the Ring War and after. It will depend on how quickly news from the front gets to Bree, and how far I take the story past the Ring War. So much still to figure out!
